Abstract;Because the biodegradable plastics(BDPs) are fully compostable with the organic wastes in the composting plant, the BDPs can be one of the most important bio-recyclable materials. Here, the present fundamentals and the market situation of the BDPs are briefly reviewed. And based on the mission of Biodegradable Plastics Society, the key to lead the extensive and commercial use of the BDPs is discussed. (author abst.)
